This is the best reference book on first names.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I have often found need for this book. It gives detailed etymologies of names, of famous persons bearing the name, and cross-references different forms of the name (as nick, male/female, and other languages). A name book done up as a proper reference book. It also has sections on Hindi/Indian and Muslim/Arabic names.
Comprehensive collection of names with meanings & origins.

Head and shoulders above all other name books I have seen. Well researched and extremely thorough.
